Links & Notes
By - There really is something remarkable about Alito using the all-purpose GOP “you hate the troops!” card in order to justify his membership in an explicitly racist and sexist organization that had nothing to do with military issues (and which, oddly, except for his highly detailed and tightly woven recollection of his reasons for joining he has no memory of joining, although he felt it important enough to boast about on a 1985 job application.) Clever bastards, you have to admit.
- The Talking Dog has excellent, very instructive interviews with the attorneys for Jose Padilla and Guantanamo Bay detainee Murat Kurnaz. Just read.
- Amanda on Jonah Goldberg’s Terror in the fact of Feminism. Roy presents his Goucher College Days in dramatic form.
- Wanker of the Day: John “Little Bobo” Tierney.
- Since I know some of our readers have found her excellent blog since she did a guest-posting gig for us, iocaste of Fantasy Life has had to move her blog: it can now be found at http://www.livejournal.com/users/iocaste212/. (She has a good post up about the Steel Seizure cases, which have been discussed a great deal in the current debate about Presidential powers, sometimes in highly bowdlerized form by conservative hacks.) You can still find our fellow pinch-hitters Erik and Matt in their familiar locations.
